Inert Metal Pipe IED with Photocell

This simulated mail threat is an X-ray correct package bomb with a light-sensitive switch. It contains all the necessary P.I.E.S. (Power source, Initiator, Explosive, and Switch) components of an IED.

The metal pipe bomb simulant is engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number (Zeff) as the real explosive threat. To assist in classroom training, a picture of the internal components is displayed on the outer packaging with each of the P.I.E.S. components identified. This helps build image association without compromising the training aid.
